May 7, 2016: Full disk and small animation, plus Lunt35 test

Post by aaube »

Hello everyone,

It was quite cloudy yesterday... One image, FD and, another small animation. Lunt 80 & ASI174.

Image

Image

And now the result of a small test done the previous day to see if a second life could be given to a Lunt35...
So the thing was matched with an AT66ED...

Image

Image

Full disk with it... No Barlow, no mosaic, better focuser...

Very nice indeed! Loved my little LS35, but the focuser clearly needs improvement
